On tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear light brown with a thick white head. Aroma of toasted, caramel malts. Flavor of toasted malts, light fruits, and peppery spices and earthy hops in the finish. Solid bitter, very drinkable. 7/4/8/4/14 (3.7/5)

Draft to sampler at the brewhouse. Looks decent; a transparent copperish brown with white lacing. Smells solid; bitter hops. Tastes like it smells with an average mouthfeel. Decent and easy to drink.

maxwelldeux (2215) - Raleigh, North Carolina, USA - MAY 8, 2012
Light hoppy notes. Pours amber with tints of red and very little head. I dont get much smell of it. Slightly heavy on the finish, but a great start.

ryanfolty (1452) - Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA - JAN 30, 2012
Date: January 30, 2012 Mode: Draft Source: Tomlinson Tap Room Description: Orangish brown pour with minimal head. Decent bitter that is balanced with the hops and malt, but aroma and taste were too muted for me.

Dogbrick (6008) - Columbus, Ohio, USA - JAN 15, 2012
Sample at Twenty Tap in Indianapolis. Pours a clear amber-brown color with a medium thin off-white head that recedes rapidly. Stringy lacing on the glass. Notes of hops and caramel malt in the nose. Light body with flavors of sweet malt and caramel, hops and a touch of fruit. The finish is malty with a caramel and mild hops aftertaste. Decent overall.

shrubber85 (5972) - Greenville, Indiana, USA - DEC 26, 2011
Tap. Sweet orange, barley malt and grapefruit peel aroma. Amber color with small head. Sweet orange toffee malt and moderately bitter orange peel flavor. Nice sweet malt and hops mixture.

madvike (2066) - Middleton, Wisconsin, USA - AUG 20, 2011
On cask at GTMW - Pours amber with a thin white head. Malty, with a light floral hop note. Taste is light lemon fruitiness with a malty nuttiness. Nice finish--cuts off abruptly and doesn’t linger much. Real refreshing. Smooth and well-carbonated. Very nice--I need to try more from this brewer!

jcr (1946) - Jasper, Indiana, USA - JUL 3, 2011
Draft. Amber body with a frothy, off-white head. Pleasant aroma of caramel, resin, candy. The flavor is lightly to moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly sweet and moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture and fizzy carbonation. The aroma is better than the flavor. Raw grain taste. Grassy hops. A bit unclean, but not off-putting.
